Four nifty online tools for yer readin' and communicatin' needs

Despite using the cliches "wide variety" and "unique" in the first, few seconds of the video intro (boooo!) - Issuu.com is a very useful and very free service to make your publications easier to navigate and share online.

I've been pushing for a CreComm app to view our students' magazine projects, but Issuu might be good enough for the time being, as evidenced by this cool magazine: Little White Lies.

Clip articles from the Web to read later, take pictures, type a note, take a screenshot. Then, place them in your Evernote account, where everything is processed, indexed, and made searchable for later - even handwritten notes.
